in reinforced concrete design, there are situations where transfer of shear across a specific plane needs to be considered. examples of such situation include corbels, bearing shoes, ledger beam bearing, and a host of connection between precast concrete elements. in this study, the shear transfer behavior of reinforced concrete is investigated experimentally by conducting test on 6 precracked p...

In this paper, the fracture behavior of ML15 cold heading steel was investigated based on ductile theory. Smooth and notched bar, flat grooved tensile–shear mixed plate specimens were designed, tensile tests carried out to examine mechanism ML15. The micromechanical characteristics surfaces different studied by performing scanning electron microscopy. results showed that under stress states mic...

The ability to predict the frozen semen doses produced per ejaculate would be of considerable benefit for management skill, human resource, capital and time. new computing paradigm called machine learning involves in predicting dependent variable by complex non-linear relationship among independent variables. purpose this study is develop prediction model using one conventional modelling techni...

This paper proposes an improvement of the conventional Lightweight Steel Frame (LSF) wall structure suitable for design high-performance modular buildings. A mobile module, named MUZA, is used as a case study building to analyse performance such LSF structures in terms their thermal bridging effect on U-value opaque envelope elements, linear heat losses at junctions, and moisture condensation r...

dual systems of steel moment frame and reinforced concrete shear wall have combined the advantages of steel frames and reinforced concrete shear wall. these walls have increased the lateral stiffness of steel frames and have reduced seismic demands on steel frames thus providing opportunities to use such system. in this research intermediate dual system of steel moment frame was chosen with int...

the research was conducted in order to determine the bending stress, young’s modulus, shearing stress, and shearing energy of safflower stalk as a function of moisture content and stalk region. the bending forces were measured at different moisture contents and the bending stress and the young’s modulus were calculated from these data. for measuring the shear forces, the stalk specimens were se...
